Guys, you're gonna be broke a lot if you're investing in real estate. You're trying to fix the fact that you're broke right now. You have a build phase you got to get through while you're building your portfolio. We're going to bring in some money and it's going to go into the next deal. You're going to bring in some money, it's going to go to your next deal, and then you're going to stabilize. And oh my gosh, a pipe's gonna burst, the roof's gonna break, you're gonna be back out of money. If your goal is to alleviate stress and fix your problems right now, real estate is not going to do that. What it does is it gives you control, it gives you some anonymity. And what it will do is you'll build a base and a cash flow and financial stability to where you're going to accelerate way beyond all 9 to 5ers, and it gets hard, especially if you start with no money. No matter your position, you can do this, but if you just want to get out of stress, choose a different career path.
